[SOLVED] Set LED on_state trigger

ESPHome
1

Hi

I want to set 2 LED’s to a colour each the colour is changed (2 LED’s will always be 1 colour)

Here’s what I have:

esphome:
  name: pacman

esp8266:
  board: esp01_1m
  framework:
    version: 2.7.4

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password
 
# Enable logging
logger:
 
# Enable Home Assistant API
api:
 
ota:
 
light:
  - platform: fastled_clockless
    chipset: WS2812
    pin: 2
    num_leds: 30
    name: 'Pacman'
    rgb_order: GRB
    on_state:
      lambda: |-
        it[28] = Color(255,255,255);
        it[29] = Color(255,255,255);
    effects:
    - addressable_lambda:
        name: "Pacman Green with White Eyes"
        update_interval: 16ms
        lambda: |-
          it.range(0, 28) = Color(0,255,0);
          it[28] = Color(255,255,255);
          it[29] = Color(255,255,255);

I can use an effect to get the desired output but I don’t really want to have to create x number of effects just so I can select some colours.

I receive an error when compiling:

Is there any way to do this?

For anyone wondering I managed to achieve this but using the addressable_set action

esphome:
  name: pacman

esp8266:
  board: esp01_1m
  framework:
    version: 2.7.4

wifi:
  ssid: !secret wifi_ssid
  password: !secret wifi_password
